Growth is a biological process, which applies to the organism in its entirety, including all tree components (stem, branches, roots, foliage). Increment expresses the observed growth of the organism during a given period of time and normally applies to the tree and stand variables diameter, basal area, height, volume, and biomass. Yield is defined as the harvested or harvestable accumulated increment per unit area.
